Holiday Bake Sale features Charlotte Pastry Chefs

Save the date for an All-Star Bake Sale featuring 20 of Charlotte’s best bakers and sweetest pastry chefs. And, it all benefits the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina and NC Field Farmworker Emergency Fund. You might say that’s this bake sale’s icing on the cake.

Dec 22, 2018 “Lovin’ from the Oven” HOLIDAY EDITION Bake Sale

Be sure to #TellThemHeidiSentYou . This old school bake sale fun begins on Saturday December 22, from noon to 4 pm at Free Range Brewing located at 2320 N. Davidson Street in the heart of Charlotte’s NoDa neighborhood.

Plan to pick up cookies and baked goods for your holiday celebrating. Bring your family and friends and while you are there, sit and stay a while to enjoy a treat on the spot with one of Free Range’s farm-fresh brews or a cup of locally roasted Magnolia Coffee. All proceeds will benefit our neighbors to the east who are still facing months or years of recovery from last season’s devastating storms.

This hurricane relief bake sale project was the brainchild of Executive Pastry Chef Ashley Boyd and her team at 300 East on East Blvd. in Charlotte, NC. Here she is in the photo above ( on the right) with 300 East Pastry Sous Chef Laney Jahkel-Parrish, left . The two gathered area pastries chefs and bakers just before Thanksgiving for a similar sale in which they raised $3684 to give to hurricane victims. It only stands to reason that the group should continue the holiday bake sale theme with a pre-Christmas sale as well.

From the Sweeter Side of 300 East

The team at 300 East is really stepping up to the plate for this sale. They organized and orchestrated and have encouraging other pastry chefs in the mix to bake their best! Many members of the 300 East team are getting involved.

Here is a short list of what you will find at the bake sale from the kitchens of this iconic Charlotte restaurant.

Look for Merry and Bright, Ellen Duke & Kelly Patkus, Johnson & Wales University with their trays of Holiday Confections. Their sweets include an assortment of Chocolate Bark, Toffee and Chocolate-Covered Nuts.
